God talks to him

It looks like the BBC has issued a rather startling press release about a new series they will be running about the Israel/Palestine issue.

The release quotes the Palestinian Foreign Minister, Nabil Shaath, as saying: "President Bush said to all of us: 'I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, "George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan." And I did, and then God would tell me, "George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq …" And I did. And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, "Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East." And by God I'm gonna do it.'"
